Dream Decks

Gather ideas and inspiration from these beautiful decks.

Deck
 

Blur the Edges

Grow perennials, shrubs, or small trees at one end of your deck to create a sense of enchantment (and add privacy). Plus, the plantings will help blend your deck with the surrounding garden. Include your favorite fragrant plants (such as lilacs or gardenias) to complete your magical setting.

Here's a hint: Place your taller plantings right up against your deck to make it clear there's a barrier.
